Whit windows paths, don't use backslash. Use forward slash or raw-strings, e.g.

app.start("C:/Program Files/Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit/bin/MapToolkit.exe")

app.start(r"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit\bin\MapToolkit.exe")

back-slash in combination with certain chars are escape sequences and have a different meaning
